Do you like Yu-Gi-Oh even if it's like this?

——So, the response at this time is quite appropriate in terms of results?

I shook my head and pushed the thought away.

The concept of "home" is one that will soon be abandoned if it is not managed intensively over a long period of time.

Perhaps, for Lian...

"I have a mother!!"

Once again, before I could reply, the other person responded more violently than I intended.

"The mother-in-law at the church said that she is everyone's mother!"

"Are you leaving the church now?"

"Then now──Alice is my mother!!"

Before I could react, the little girl, whose tears were still lingering, grabbed my arm.

"She's not Alice! (belly fist)"

——Hey! Lian, why did you do that?

"Gu! You!!"

La fought back while crying.

——The scene became chaotic.

"咻咻~"

I was not able to whistle successfully because I was not used to Alice's body.

——I suddenly realized that I quite like watching women fight.

(There is always a way… There is always a way.)

Looking at the two people fighting with each other, who would have an intersection with me in the future, I couldn't help but smile.

..............................................................................

——If I could laugh a little longer, would everything be different?

..............................................................................

"Ah?"

——!

When I dragged the two little girls, who were beaten to a pulp and had red eyes, back to school, it was almost time to go home.

However, something seemed different.

“It always feels so quiet.”

La's voice made me look up.

"blockade?"

I originally planned to take La to tell the principal and complete the admission procedures.

However, the scene outside the school gave me a bad feeling.

The crowd was dispersed, but there was no doubt that the blockade itself existed - the police maintaining order and the principal in a suit and tie stood outside the blockade, arguing fiercely about something.

“——I don’t know anything!”

"You have no idea what's going on in there?"

"It's like this! Officer Hai, would I lie to you after all these years?!"

The police officer named Hai, who fastened his belt tightly but still had a big belly, frowned and lowered his head to write in a small notebook.

The principal standing by was sweating profusely, sighing and gritting his teeth.

"Excuse me, what happened here?"

Walking over, I wanted to signal La and Lian to go back to school, but it seemed that they were not allowed to go in or out now, so they could only come here together to see the situation.

"--Who are you?"

"I'm the new English teacher here. You can call me Alice - they are the children who come with me to do errands."

I nodded to the two children beside me.

"...I understand. Come over and tell me."

We were taken to the guard room at the school gate, which seemed a bit crowded. Several panic-stricken students and teachers gathered together, their eyes and brows full of anxiety.

"In short - we must first let you know that what is happening in the school is strictly forbidden to be spread outside... Here are the relevant provisions. I have prepared the documents, and everyone here must sign a copy."

The coast guard officer wiped his sweat while taking the documents from his assistant.

"Excuse me, what happened?"

"Don't worry. No matter what, everyone present is safe. It's just that we have an obligation to ensure that this matter is handled to the greatest extent possible and does not cause excessive social impact."

…Not even intelligence personnel, but the police are handling it.

It's a pretty big event.

"After signing the document, we will give you a detailed explanation - the children should stay away, but if you have any questions, you must ask them all at once... No one is allowed to mention anything about the campus outside of here."

"..."

People lined up and reached out to the pile of documents.

When I took the document, I showed my identity document unnoticeably - the coast guard nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

However, no further action was taken.

Everyone signed the documents, and then the children, Lian and La were placed in another room.

——Before leaving, one of them stuffed something into my hand and I didn’t react for a moment.

However, the children walked away without looking back, and I couldn't confirm with my eyes who gave it to me.

The adults followed the police and walked into a more remote classroom.

——There, I saw other people, who seemed to be sanitation workers and people who looked dusty, as if they were teachers who had just returned from outside.

"…Okay, everyone has signed the document—then I'll be frank."

Lifting the microphone, the marine officer cleared his throat:

"There has been a poisoning incident at school - you, and the children in the next room, are the only survivors left."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

——Dead silence.⑧

"Normally we don't plan to gather everyone together in a big way like this - but this time the situation is special."⑤

——Crunch~⑦

I'm not sure what that sound is.

"Everyone present, please cooperate with the investigation - you may not leave until the investigation is completed."⑥

The corners of my mouth showed bitterness——A brief translation: ③

The murderer is still among you.

Each deck can have up to three cards with the same name:④

Chapter 284 20 Even if it is a lie of a lie of a lie ②

No one likes to be treated like a criminal.

——Soon there were sounds of people gasping for air in the crowd...Wow, I actually heard this kind of sound in real life.

"Next, please go to the next room one by one. We will conduct the questioning there."

"Are you kidding! I'm going to vomit!"

A man dressed like a street scoundrel booed in the crowd.

"Be honest! You're always there in every crackdown on pornography!"

The policeman next to him seemed to know him and made a sound.

Voices trying to maintain order, voices whispering, voices depicting low voices of panic.

Ignoring all of this, I spread my hands.

【Promise Fulfilled】

It was a small, light note with only four words on it.

(promise……?)

Why don't I remember making a promise?

——Although this may sound like a scumbag’s defense, I’m using Alice’s body now, so there’s no problem (mist).

…It seems I can only meet them temporarily.

"..."

Taking a chance—which was difficult, Alice's body was so conspicuous—I crept to the door and spoke to the policeman on guard duty:

"Excuse me - I'm a teacher at this school, and I'm a little worried about the children in the next room... Can you take me to see them?"

"Um, Miss, no one can leave until the meeting is over..."

"Wow!!!"

——As I expected, crying was heard from the next room.

"I can help calm them down, quickly."

"...I'll go ask my superiors for instructions."
